Beautiful! I have a few lower-quality scans from the DPW collection until you make it to the library: https://www.flickr.com/photos/walkingsf/15584847429/in/photostream/ … https://www.flickr.com/photos/walkingsf/15151260063/in/photostream/ … https://www.flickr.com/photos/walkingsf/15770650805/in/photostream/ … They sure didn't pay as much attention to aesthetics when building the 1970s temporary portals

I might be dense – what are the 1970s temporary portals?

The fenced-off ones that you posted pictures of above, which pass through the old Eureka Station platforms. The original portal was in the middle of the street and removed for Castro Station construction

And their sister site
@outsidelandz has a fantastic article on the tunnel's opening by Arnold Woods if you wanna go a deep dive:http://www.outsidelands.org/twin-peaks-tunnel.php …2 replies 0 retweets 1 like
Flawless. Thank you! I’m glad you and I found a completely different set of photos. :·D
